At that age I think it is okay to give each other small gifts, but you never know what another family will consider a “small” gift. If one kid gives a more expensive gift, that is their choice, and hopefully no one will feel bad about it. I also struggle with how much to spend on gifts for birthday parties, but that is another story…:)

Notes,stuffed animals. Not sure that she reciprocated but they all love each other and from what I saw and heard at the party,just being together was the best gift for them. When three of the girls were on a vacation trip together,they each bought those BFF necklaces and wear them all the time.

When I was a kid my grandfather “Poppy” always told me “give more, expect less.” His words have stayed with me throughout my life and have served me well.
